This is most excellent drama news, but a word of caution not to get too excited since it’s still a ways out and much can change in the interim. SBS is lining up dramas well into the summer and a new production joins the busy line up with modern workplace romance Let’s Have Dinner Together. The drama will be adapted from a popular webtoon (what else is new) and is currently in talks with Shin Mina as the leading lady. SBS is pushing thriller Signal out into the fall and plans to have Dinner take over the Wed-Thurs time slot from Mask, which is taking over from the currently airing The Girl Who Sees Smells.
If Shin Mina accepts, it will be her first drama in three years since MBC‘s Arang and the Magistrate. During those three years her Arang costar Lee Jun Ki has done three more dramas, LOL, so Shin Mina definitely is not prolific with her drama output. Two years before Arang she did My Girlfriend is a Gumiho with Lee Seung Gi so I would say she makes the most of the few dramas she’s done, i.e. whatever she does leave a positive lasting impression. I may not love her all the time as an actress but definitely admire her unique strong features and sparkling chemistry with all her leading men.
I love how the netizen reactions to her potential drama land return is the same two-step refrain of “Yay, about time unni!” followed by “Who’s going to be her leading man?”. Forever the exact same reaction whenever a favorite actor or actress gets tapped with a potential new project. Sadly the calls to reunite her with Lee Jun Ki is out since he’s got MBC‘s Scholar Who Walks the Night, while calls to reunite her with Lee Seung Gi seems highly unlikely but definitely not impossible since he doesn’t currently have a drama or movie scheduled. I personally prefer someone new with her just to shake things up a bit. Surprise me, SBS!

So Ji Sub!!! I want her with him since Giordano CFs.
OMG!!!This!!!
You read my mind, I have been hoping upon hope for this to be realized. It would be amazing if she reconnected with Lee Jun ki again, but since that is not going to happen anytime soon, I hope she accepts this project with her leading man being So Ji Sub. Please, Please, let it come true.
She's so beautiful and an excellent actress too..but I feel like her natural style ofromcom acting would be better suited to cable than standard network drama.
I want to see her with a new costar who can match her beauty and acting ability. Like Kim Jae Wook or Park Hae Jin. Though will KJW ever get a lead role? Lee Jin Wook might also be good.
Too bad my fav otps of hers, Lee Jun Ki and Joo Ji Hoon, are already tied up with other dramas just before/at the same time.
Signal is out of the line altogether per the latest news... I don't even want to comment on possible male leads because I have no idea how much the story line will be changed based on availability but let's just say that the character as written is more of an Eric/So Ji Sub/Lee Jung Jae type than a Lee Seung Gi. Anyone else catch the female lead's new name? Kim Choon Sook? Heck, I'm not Korean and it sounds old fashioned to me! Would it have killed them to retain the name Woo Do Hee?!
Sorry I didn't understand your first setence....does that mean she isn't doing the drama? :(
Eric would be a good pairing with Shin Min Ah, actually. Maybe they want a lead close to her in age/not one who's younger?
When this drama probably airing?
Eric might still busy for his group promotion
Gong Yoo busy for movie promotion
Jo In Sung and So Ji Sub…this two I don't hear any news yet. Oh, please…one of them. I'm getting bored with noona romance. There are a lot of hottie actors in their 30s now that more appealing from appearance to acting skills in Korea...
love her nails!!
OMGosh ... honestly, she has a really good eye on what is good drama. i'm glad she does not settle for less even though that means less output. love love LOVE her!! <3
It's true. None of her dramas in the last 10 years have been bad, she chooses well with scripts even if she does less dramas.
Even Ijuksa which was a total melo, had a great and compelling first half.
Love her so much. So excited for it.
Have already thinking about the long list of potential male lead
Same age or sunbae
Jo In Sung
Kang Dong Won
So Ji Sub
Gong Yoo
Lee Chun Hee
Lee Jun Ki ( was waiting for their union but i guess we have to wait longer)
Noona-dongseng romance
Lee Seung Gi
Joo Won
Kim Woo Bin
Kang Ha Neul
Sung Joon
It would take a miracle to bring Kang Dong Won to TV again, so he's more than 90% out. Lee Seung Gi is off to military pretty soon, Lee Chun Hee is busy with that drama that will star Jang Nara if I'm not mistaken and Kang Ha Neul/Sung Joon aren't famous enough at this point to get a leading part next to Shin Mina. But the others are fair game. I would LOVE to see So Ji Sub and Jo In Sung on my screen again.
I think he expressed interest in starring in a drama recently. He was even rejected for a role he wanted.
So ji sub...Gong Yoo
So Ji Sub…Kim Woo Bin
For me she is the complete package when it comes to physical beauty. She is the most gorgeous korean actress for me. Song Hye Kyo, Kim Tae Hee and etc are beautiful but no one comes close to Shin Min Ah's proportional body figure. She is just adorably gorgeous. She's also one of those very few celebrities who wears very complicated outfits (almost everyone wears the girly girly playing safe outfits) but she's totally rocking everything she wears.
Song Hye Kyo and Kim Tae Hee are pretty but in a boring kind of way. Shin Min Ah is stunningly gorgeous, charming, and totally magnetic. Okay, Kim Tae Hee is charming too but she just doesn't compare to Shin Min Ah. Shin Min Ah just has a cool and relatable aura about her.
SMA is pretty but her acting mediocre
meh, shin min ah's not that pretty, song hye kyo & kim t@e hee both better lookin' th@n her
Maybe this time SBS will actually follows the webtoon and hire a competent writer who doesn't lack creative writing.
In my thoughts, SBS will court the younger guys like
Lee min Ho
Lee Jong suk
Kim woo bin
Joo won
I vote for Kim Woo Bin. I need her with a manly man.
